1. I have been
using several of the tools before this project, but he first and probably the
oldest of my favorites is Google earth.

Google
doc’s would be my second favorite; I mainly like its accessibility and the
multiple features it has.

2. As I mentioned I have implemented some of the tools in the class
as stations already, it is my goal to continue on the same track. I would like
to apply most of the stuff I learned consistently in the class.

3. I
had to figure it out how to take pictures of the screen I was working on in
order to improve the blog’s presentation. I thought it would be more difficult to
complete all the tools but it actually was a fun learning experience.

It is important to communicate to
students the way in which technology will be integrated as a tool in the
lesson.

Accountability is applicable to
any lesson/station or activity; therefore technology should not be the
exception. Technology will be relevant if we assess students practice
consistently.

I like learning games for kids; it can be used as a station for
almost any subject.

I find Study ladder very
motivational because of its instant feedback and rewards.

Pop Math is a practical
addition/subtraction math facts application. As you know practice on that
matter is very important so they can improve their skills; kids also love
practicing using this app.

Kids can use these devices in too
many ways not only as stations but also as cameras, voice recorders and
video recorders. A reader’s theater can be made if you record their voices
and then take pictures from the book finally putting them together in a
presentation. Evernote is a useful app to take notes and to bookmark
Internet pages, pictures or text for you to open them on different devices
under the same account. I believe that during the year I’ll come up with a
lot more of ideas.
